Christopher, a 6-foot-3 defensive back from Ludowici, GA, chose the Gamecocks over offers from Georgia Tech, West Virginia, and Georgia State. The Gamecocks recognized Christopher's potential early in the recruiting process, extending an offer after his recruitment gained momentum. His recruitment took off after exposure from Sports Illustrated's Brooks Austin, who attended one of Christopher's games last year for his "Friday Night Lights" YouTube series. Austin's scouting for the SI All-American rankings highlighted Christopher's talent, and a few posts on Twitter caught the attention of college coaches. The Gamecocks were among the first to notice this hidden gem.

In 2023, Christopher showcased his versatility as a two-way player, taking snaps at both cornerback and wide receiver. On defense, he totaled 27 tackles and 3 interceptions. On offense, he caught 9 passes for 195 yards and 5 touchdowns.
